Coast Mountain Bus Company 2501–2540 are a set of 40 New Flyer Industries E60LFR units built in 2007. These were originally delivered with perch seats in the articulated joint, but have since been replaced with a single seat with extended grab rails on each side.
Due to headlight visibility issues with bike racks, bikes were initially not allowed after sunset. As a result, they were replaced with a different style shortly. In 2009, passenger voice-announcement and display systems by INIT were introduced. Also in 2009, the interior fluorescent lights were replaced with LEDs on all units. CCTV cameras were installed in 2011. Compass Card readers were gradually installed starting in late 2012 through 2013. Throughout 2019 and into 2020, driver barriers were installed on all units.
They are governed to a maximum speed of 65 km/h and fitted with a battery-powered emergency power unit (EPU) for limited off-power operation when overhead line power is not available. The EPU is a nickel-cadmium battery pack capable of approximately 1 kilometre of off-wire travel on level ground.
These units feature cloth seat fabric compared to their 2009 counterparts which use vinyl.
